Neves has gone from strength to strength this season, establishing himself as a key first-team player under Benfica coach Roger Schmidt and making three appearances for Portugal. The Mirror report United will now begin the groundwork for a summer deal soon. Incidentally, United have held talks with Benfica this month over a deal for Alvaro Fernandez with the full-back expected to join the Portuguese giants on an initial loan deal. ‘It has to be the Man United coach who says whether he has a place or not,’ Fernandes said.
